00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.971
David Medeiros publicly identifies as
a brain-injury and stroke survivor.

00:00:05.271 --> 00:00:10.988
Connecticut General Assembly records
identify him as founder of ABI Resources.

00:00:11.288 --> 00:00:16.707
CARF lists ABI Resources and reports
its first accreditation in 2017.

00:00:17.007 --> 00:00:19.993
These sources establish distinct
facts.

00:00:20.293 --> 00:00:22.384
They do not turn David,

00:00:22.484 --> 00:00:23.529
the company,

00:00:23.629 --> 00:00:26.616
and the people served into one legal
person.

00:00:26.916 --> 00:00:31.609
A person receiving services holds
beneficiary and disability rights.

00:00:31.909 --> 00:00:35.045
David may hold his own
disability-access,

00:00:35.145 --> 00:00:36.084
speech,

00:00:36.184 --> 00:00:37.315
petition,

00:00:37.415 --> 00:00:41.041
and due-process protections when their
legal tests are met.

00:00:41.341 --> 00:00:45.075
ABI Resources may hold separate
organizational,

00:00:45.175 --> 00:00:46.199
contract,

00:00:46.299 --> 00:00:48.453
or procedural interests.

00:00:48.753 --> 00:00:51.591
No right should be borrowed from
another lane.

00:00:51.891 --> 00:00:54.344
Review the independent records,

00:00:54.444 --> 00:00:59.159
then compare them with the source
archive at david-medeiros.com.

00:00:59.459 --> 00:01:04.408
Use ctbraininjury.com for Connecticut
brain-injury information.

00:01:04.708 --> 00:01:06.479
When asking for help,

00:01:06.579 --> 00:01:09.267
identify whose right is affected,

00:01:09.367 --> 00:01:11.308
what decision occurred,

00:01:11.408 --> 00:01:13.541
and which document proves it.
